Decadent, Chewy, Fudge Brownies- A Light Version that Tastes Rich

Brownies, those tiny, chocolatey, melt-in-your mouth, heavenly treats. I love brownies and they are always a hit at a party but who wants all of the fat that goes with them? I always search for ways to make healthier versions of our family favorites. I also like to create recipes myself, so I can avoid giving my family the added ingredients found in many packaged brands of foods, including brownie mix. So when I can I try and make brownies myself. Here is my recipe for delicious, chewy, chocolatey fudge, shiny-top brownies that have less fat, and even use White Wheat Flour. Ingredients: 1/3 cup Butter- Softened 1 cup Brown Sugar 1 Egg 1 Egg White 1 tsp Vanilla 1/3 cup Cocoa 1/3 Cup Chocolate Chips or Dark Choc. Chips-melted 3/4 Cup White Wheat Flour (if you have it, if not use Regular White Flour) 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1/4 tsp Salt Directions: Preheat Oven to 350. Cream together Softened Butter and Brown Sugar (whip for 2 minutes). Add Egg and Egg White and vanilla and blend together. Next add cocoa and melted chocolate chips. In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture. Pour into a pan (you can use cooking spray-optional)and cook for approximately 15 minutes. Will make approx. 20 brownies. Use a 11x11 pan Cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy! Try adding nuts, or toffee bits for something different or add darker or bittersweet chocolate for a rich chocolate flavor.
